DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0020] As discussed above, embodiments of the present invention relate to a pillow and more particularly to a height adjustable pillow as used to provide height adjustment in increments.

[0021] Generally speaking, a height adjustable pillow is a hypoallergenic pillow having a closable pillow case and preferably five cushions within that may be added or removed one at a time to adjust the height of the pillow. The top cushion is stitched diagonally corner to corner to make it easier to place an infant on the pillow so that the infant's head is able to rest comfortably in a chosen position without rolling to a less comfortable position.

[0022] In greater detail now, referring to the drawings by numerals of reference there is shown in FIG. 1, a perspective view illustrating a height adjustable pillow according to an embodiment of the present invention.

[0023] The height adjustable pillow preferably comprises a pillow case having an outer layer that includes a top surface and a bottom surface attached together at three edges to form an interior volume, a plurality of pillow cushions each that include an outer layer having a top surface and a bottom surface forming an interior volume, and a cushion material placed within the interior volume.

[0024] The top surface is stitched to the bottom surface in a predetermined pattern in order to keep the cushion material in place within the interior volume, and each of the pillow cushions are formed having substantially the same dimensions and are adapted to be placed within the interior volume of the pillow case such that a user can add or remove one pillow cushion at a time within the interior volume of the pillow case in order to progressively increase or decrease the overall height of the height adjustable pillow.

[0025] Referring now to FIG. 2, a perspective view illustrating a height adjustable pillow according to an embodiment of the present invention of FIG. 1.

[0026] Each of the pillow cushions is formed having a height of approximately 1 inch and there may be approximately five pillow cushions altogether. Each of the pillow cushions are formed having a rectangular shape, and one of the pillow cushions is stitched from corner-to-corner of the rectangular shape forming four triangular shapes. Four of the pillow cushions are stitched from edge-to-edge of the rectangular shape forming four substantially equally dimensioned rectangular shapes such that the one of the pillow cushions having four triangular shapes can be inserted within the pillow case first solely for holding a baby's head in a desire position. Each of the pillow cushions is formed having a rectangular shape and one of the pillow cushions is stitched from corner-to-corner forming four triangular shapes, and the remaining pillow cushions are stitched from edge-to-edge forming four substantially equally dimensioned rectangular shapes such that the pillow cushions having four triangular shapes can be inserted within the pillow case first solely to be used for holding a baby's head in a desire position.

[0027] Referring now to FIG. 3, a perspective view illustrating height adjustable pillow according to an embodiment of the present invention of FIG. 1.

[0028] The pillow case further includes a releasable fastener member attached between the top surface and a bottom surface and releasably encloses the interior volume to hold the pillow cushions within. The releasable fastener member may be formed as a zipper member but may instead be formed as hook and loop material in some embodiments.
